* CloseEnoughTimeline: Harry's original plan was to fix Past!''Voyager's'' slipstream so they make it all the way to Earth. When his corrections crash the ship anyway, he decides sending a phase variance that will collapse the tunnel but save the ship is good enough.

* RagnarokProofing: ''Voyager'' to some degree -- the crash destroyed the ship's power grid and compacted the six lowermost decks, and fifteen years on ice have frozen the bio-neural gel packs solid. But the consoles they ''can'' access work once Harry and Chakotay hook up some portable power cells to boot up the system, and Sickbay's holo-emitters still function.

** When the USS Challenger gains on the Delta Flyer, Tessa says they're 200,000 kilometres away and closing, while the shot of the two ships shows them only a couple of kilometres apart, give or take. As a side-note, 200,000 kilometres is about half the distance between the Earth and the Moon.

* BittersweetEnding: At the end of the episode ''Voyager'' is intact but still in the Delta Quadrant, and the Quantum Slipstream drive has been dismantled and declared unusable for the time being. However, the crew shaved 10 years off their trip home and Janeway notes in her log that the crew has received a much needed morale boost from the attempt.

* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Future!Kim has spent fifteen years working on his calculations, and starts to crack up when nothing happens after he sent the signal, suggesting that ''Voyager'' has crashed regardless. The Doctor tells Harry to pull himself together and send another message that will abort the flight instead.

* TakeAThirdOption: After spending fifteen years blaming himself for ''Voyager'' being lost, Harry is determined to find a way to perfect the slipstream and get the crew home. When his equations prove flawed and he can't hope to correct them in the time available, the Doctor's advice helps Harry realise that, if he can't get the crew home, he can at least save their lives by aborting the flight before it reaches the danger zone.

Added DiffLines:

* SeriesContinuityError: When introduced in "Hope and Fear" the slipstream drive was said to be fast enough to bring Voyager back to Federation space in three months, which is impressive but probably also accounts for occasional pit stops after a period of cruising speed like with regular warp drives. The central disaster in this story centers around Voyager using Slipstream to make the trip in one trip lasting less than a few hours, and Voyager crashes within reasonable range of Federation space while the Delta Flyer crew ended up the SoleSurvivor and completed the trip presumably within the next hour. While it could mean they had modified and upgraded the technology, the discrepancy isn't addressed.

* SanDimasTime: Averted. As the Doctor points out, "The past isn't going anywhere.". What forces them to act quickly is that they're getting chased by a ''Galaxy''-class ship, which could easily subdue the ''Delta Flyer''. Otherwise, they'd take their time to make sure their revised coordinates will actually save ''Voyager'' and try again as many times as needed.

The problem is that they initially don't know ''what'' to send when Harry's first set of equations don't work, and then there's a more literal "race against time" as they're getting chased by under attack from a ''Galaxy''-class ship, which could easily subdue ship and facing a warp core breach in the ''Delta Flyer''.

Captain La Forge is trying to stop them, partly to protect his own crew, and partly because [[TimeTravel messing with the timeline]] does not tend to work out in the Star Trek Universe.
